The values seen ton th navgraph for pos are suppose to be related to the ref datum position, yet for a small aircraft they are 519 and 92. This is incosistent with the SDK docs.

never mind - node position - not pos position.

Hello @DA40CGDFQ

The xml file is a “layout” file to store editor information, so in this context is the position of the Node in the editor view and not the position attribute of the node. This last one will be written in the cfg.
